888.com, one of the largest and most respected online gaming groups, is collaborating with the Australian cricket legend, Shane Warne, to create a promotion that will give poker players the chance of their lifetimes: to play in their own home against Shane Warne in the 888 Poker Ultimate Home Game tournament.

The fortunate winner was Nathan Perry from Woy Woy, a little town on the New South Wales Coast in Australia. The game took place in his home on a professional poker table with his friends, a waitress who served them food and beverages and certainly, Shane Warne.

Shane Warne, as captain of the 888 Poker Australian Poker Team, will also compete at the 2008 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, the 888 UK Poker Open and other major poker tournaments.

Players have an amazing chance to make two dreams come true: play poker with Shane Warne and play at the World Series of Poker. The winner of this special promotion will fly with Shane Warne and the 888 Poker team to Las Vegas, stay at a 5-star hotel, get $2,000 in spending money and play at the WSOP Main Event.

To win this one-of-a-kind package, players can enter daily Shane Warne World Series of Poker freerolls and qualifiers, with the Grand Final taking place on June 14.

Matt Robinson, 888.com's Marketing Director said that 888 Poker is giving Shane Warne and poker enthusiasts a unique experience.

"888.com's Ultimate Home Game online poker tournaments became very popular in Australia, attracting poker and Shane Warne fans from across the country. We want to give them the thrill of a life time and play with Shane Warne at the 2008 WSOP." said Robinson.
